Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness pdfdrive com

Notice the warning signs
You don’t get into a car immediately worrying that you’re going to have a crash.
That would be a very fearful way to live life and it would drive you insane.
However, you could still take measures, such as wearing a seatbelt, to prevent
serious injury if an accident did happen. This action, too, may result from fear,
but this is why fear exists: to protect us from danger.
If you caused a car accident because you consumed too much alcohol but you
survived, it would be even more irresponsible for you to do it again. If you did,
you’d be volunteering for another accident, which could potentially lead to your
death. In other words, you’re ignoring the lesson and suggesting to the Universe
that you should receive that lesson again.
So pay attention to the warning signs. You’re always being guided by the
Universe to live authentically and purposefully, and to experience the greater
things in life. But if something doesn’t go the way you wanted, ask yourself
what you can learn from it – because every bad experience has a learning
outcome to be taken on board. Ask yourself what changes you need to make.
And don’t mask unhealthy choices with optimism when you know they’re not
right, or let emotional cravings and temporary comfort inspire you to venture for
more pain.

the cake that harmed you, you
no longer fall victim to it, you
become a hungry volunteer.

Your higher purpose
You came here loaded with potential, ability,
gifts, wisdom, love and intelligence to share
with the world. You are here to make the world
a better place. You have a purpose, and until
you start living it you will have a void inside
of you; a feeling you can’t quite explain, but
that knows that you are meant for more.
I believe that everyone has a purpose in life: a purpose to be of service to the
world. This purpose, along with the experience of unconditional love and joy, is
the reason for our existence. Purpose provides us with meaning.
Most of us find it difficult to identify what our true purpose is. Others have a
feeling that they know what it is, but are often forced to conform to society’s
norms and reject their real purpose in the name of practicality.
Think of a soccer ball. The purpose of this ball is to be kicked. If the ball just sits
there doing nothing in the corner of a room, its purpose is being ignored –
however, it doesn’t care, because it has no soul. Imagine now that the ball has a
soul, giving the ball self-awareness. If the ball stayed sitting in the corner of the
room, it would have a strange feeling inside of it, like something was missing.
The ball may never find fulfilment because it would probably feel as if it hasn’t
shown the world its true worth.
Now imagine someone finally picks up the ball and decides to throw it around.

As the ball glides through the air, it feels ecstatic. But moments later, the ball
feels a void inside itself again, because although it had fun, it wasn’t enough.
The ball might then be used in a variety of ways, seeing plenty of action but still
feel unfulfilled. The ball assumes that the more events that occur in its life, the
closer it’ll come to fulfilment. But the more events it experiences, the more this
idea is disproved.
Until one day, when the ball is 
kicked
. In this moment, everything makes sense
to the ball. It understands what it was designed for: it was supposed to be kicked.
It looks back at the events that have already taken place and starts connecting the
dots. When it was being moved through the air, and when it felt someone
applying pressure to it, it experienced feelings of excitement that related to its
purpose. The ball now knows what it’s been searching for all along.
We gain a modicum of satisfaction from applying ourselves to roles that aren’t
our own profound purpose, but rarely do we have lasting satisfaction. That’s not
to say that you can’t experience joy – after all, we can always raise our vibration.
But we can only feel ultimate fulfilment if we meet the purpose we were made
for.
You may find the idea of having a higher purpose to be far-fetched, but if you
found a smartphone in the middle of a field, you’d assume that someone had
dropped it there. You wouldn’t think that something so complex was formed
naturally by events in nature, over millions of years, without having a designer.
Yet we believe the whole human race, which is far more complex than a
smartphone, was produced by a series of mutations and survival of the fittest.
Many of us seem to accept that we have no purpose in life, and that we’re each
just another human being in this Universe of billions upon billions of galaxies.
However, just like a smartphone, there must surely be a purpose in your
existence.
When people go through their lives without really believing in a higher purpose,
they’re not making the most of their existence.
These individuals could go through their whole life just trying to make ends
meet. Their purpose in life will always be driven by daily survival, the need to
pay the next bill. Of course, bills do matter. We need to pay for food, water,
shelter, clothing and utilities. But do you honestly believe you were put on this

planet just to exist in such a manner and then die? Do you truly believe that life
is simply about making money?
